Colour Modification of Factorisation in Single-Spin Asymmetries

Abstract

We discuss the way in which factorisation is partially maintained but nevertheless modified by process-dependent colour factors in hadronic single-spin asymmetries. We also examine QCD evolution of the twist-three gluonic-pole strength defining an effective T-odd Sivers function in the large-x limit, where evolution of the T-even transverse-spin DIS structure function g2 is known to be multiplicative.
